Carl Sagan Cosmos change my life I'm thinking about doing a post trying to get people to discuss Cosmos the series and how it affected them. for you youngsters it's available on YouTube for free
Dr Tyson has updated the COSMOS series both teach and inspire Atheists out of dark false Faith's into science and secularism
the Neil deGrasse Tyson Cosmos isn't as good, would I like is the spiritual tone the Carl Sagan takes when he says'' the cosmos is everything that ever was or ever will be''
it brings chills up and down my spine.
@m16566 sure Sagan played to a religious audience while Dr Tyson is much better than that...Sagan used music while Neil fills the track with without delusion of anykind
I couldn't wait for it to come on every week. Between Sagan's Cosmos and David Attenborough's Life on Earth, my life at that time was complete.
I read "Contact" before the movie came out. I was surprised the novel had some emotional heft. Art Bell used the clip, "Wanna take a ride?" on his radio show after the movie came out. (Yes, I listened to Art Bell. It was fun and free in the '90s.)
I'm another Art Bell fan as a night shift worker Art got me through those long shifts... and he was entertaining. I have some oh his best audio clips.
Me too; read it before it came out...but loved the DVD so much I bought it and showed it repeatedly for years in my science classes. Excellent story.
Here's the Trailer;
Fondly, yes. It's what made relativity "click" for me. He was always so much fun to watch - it was apperant he loved the subjects and also teaching others about them.
Truly remarkable person.
My background pic on Facebook is a dandelion seed with "Traveling on the starship of the imagination" on it.
On Family Guy they did Carl Sagan's Cosmos...edited for rednecks.
Very much so, and then the remake with Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson. Which btw is having another season starting soon.
I just finished watching the first episode. Google: "youtube cosmos sagan episode 1" if you want to see it. Very enjoyable.
For a couple of years there was an internet streaming channel that played nothing but episodes of Cosmos, back to back.
